Hah! Do we know him? Is he a lurker? Bon bon, you're famous! :)
I was saying hi because I've met him via erinaceous, but since-- and I know this is a surprise to you all-- this is not my real name, I presume he doesn't know that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

this is not my real name
So you won't be bon bon Bob Bob, Esq ?
Speaking of erinaceous, I was googling for the word origin of the term "wifebeater" for the undershirt thing, and came across her talking about the generationalness of "Bob's your uncle" on a list-serv.
By the way, does anyone know when that term started (I first heard it in 1996.)

You mean "Bob's your uncle?"
Isn't it an old school Irish/English saying?

It's not?!? I'm shocked! Dismayed, in fact, that there will be no bon bon Bob Bob Esq. in our future!!

...how generational is it? I don't think I've ever heard someone use that in speech. I've heard of it, read it, but never thought of actually using it. (Also, what does it have to do with wifebeater?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Wifebeater" got its start from all the domestic violence on Cops.
eta: Oh. That's not what you were asking.

Well, in the virtual future, perhaps.

Oh- I meant the term wifebeater-- not Bob's your uncle!
(Also, what does it have to do with wifebeater?)A poster thought the term wifebeater was regional and someone said they thought it was more generational. Erin then used "bob's your uncle" as an example of that here [link]

Oh, flea. I'm so sorry. What do you think HR will do to make it up to you?
flea, get as much as you can. Maybe a pony!
Or, okay, maybe more days of paid vacation and/or $$$.
